vetting-agent-extensions

vetting-agent-extensions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EvilFreelancer/secs. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,920 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of vetting-agent-extensions, Apache-2.0.

A safety review guide for deciding whether an AI-agent extension, plugin, or MCP server should be installed. It examines the instructions the agent reads and the tools or startup settings it may run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess skill packs, marketplace plugins, MCP servers, configuration files, and repositories that install several agent components together.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what an extension could make the agent do or access before installation, including risks that a normal code review may miss.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

vetting-agent-extensions scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Vetting Agent Extensions

An agent extension is not a library you call — it is text and configuration that your model reads as instructions and tooling your agent runs on your behalf. A malicious dependency has to wait for you to call it. A malicious skill is already in the context window, and a malicious MCP server may execute the moment the agent starts. The trust decision happens before either runs, and it is the decision this skill is about.

This is an adoption gate, not a code audit. The question is not "does this server have a CVE" — it is "if I install this, what can it make my agent do, and what can it read on its way out."

When to Use

  • Deciding whether to install a skill pack, plugin, or marketplace entry into Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, or a similar agent
  • Reviewing an MCP server before adding it to an agent's config — especially one that ships its own .mcp.json, .env, or startup wiring
  • Judging a repo that mixes skills, MCP config, and bootstrap scripts, where installing the repo wires all three at once
  • Assessing whether third-party agent content that gets loaded into context (skill bodies, tool descriptions, resources, bundled notes) can steer the model or leak the current engagement

When NOT to Use

  • Auditing an MCP server's own code for vulnerabilities — injection surfaces, tool scope, authz, transport — use auditing-mcp-servers. That skill reviews a server you are building or breaking; this one decides whether to trust one someone else built.
  • Dependency, package, lockfile, and CI/CD supply-chain risk — use auditing-supply-chain. An extension's npm/pip dependencies are its problem; route them there.
  • Prompt-injection and tool-abuse testing of an LLM application you are assessing — use securing-ai-systems.
  • Reviewing a diff to an extension you have already adopted — use auditing-code-for-vulnerabilities; come back here only if the diff changes what loads into context or what runs on startup.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
